Gulf Coast Hideaway · IMG Academy · Dual Pools & Hot Tubs · Anna Maria Island

Some places you stay at. Others you actually escape to. Shorewalk Vacation Villas sits firmly in the second category — a beautifully maintained resort community in the heart of Bradenton where the pools are heated, the hot tubs are steps away, and Anna Maria Island is fifteen minutes down the road whenever you're ready for it.

This is a standout Bradenton vacation rental for guests who want more than a room — a fully equipped 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom hideaway where the Gulf Coast pace of life sets in fast and the outside world stays where it belongs.

THE SPACE
At 1,250 sq ft, this second-floor Gulf Coast condo rental is bright, private, and designed for people who actually want to relax. Being on the second floor means no foot traffic above or below, elevated views from every room, and the kind of quiet that makes a genuine difference after a long travel day. The screened lanai overlooks a tranquil pond with fountains and earns its place as the most used spot in the condo from the first morning to the last. The open living and dining area seats four and flows directly outside — pour something cold and let the evening take care of itself.

The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking — full appliances, complete cookware, and everything you need to eat in and save the restaurants for when they matter. Publix and Aldi are both a short walk away. The master bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, flat-screen TV, and an ensuite with double sinks. The guest bedroom has two twin beds with a full bath nearby — comfortable for kids, teammates, or a second couple traveling together. In-unit washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs, and beach chairs for your Anna Maria Island days are all included.

THE RESORT
Shorewalk Vacation Villas is a full resort destination, not just a condo complex. Two heated pools, two hot tubs, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bocce, shuffleboard, scenic lakeside walking paths, a clubhouse with billiards, and BBQ grills — all within grounds that most guests genuinely never want to leave. Restaurants, groceries, and shops are all within easy walking distance of the front door.

5 MINUTES FROM IMG ACADEMY
IMG Academy is one of the most prestigious sports training institutions on the planet — and this Florida beach condo sits just five minutes from its gates. Families traveling for tournaments, recruiting visits, and showcase events return here because it offers something no hotel can: a genuine hideaway with a full kitchen, two resort pools, two hot tubs, and a private lanai to decompress on after a long day on the sidelines. This is IMG Academy accommodation that actually feels like time off.

15 MINUTES FROM ANNA MARIA ISLAND
Anna Maria Island vacation days are easy from here — fifteen minutes to Coquina Beach, Bean Point, and the clearest turquoise water on the Gulf Coast. Pack the cooler, grab the beach chairs we provide, and make a full day of it. Lunch at the Sandbar Restaurant on the water, or Skinny's Place for what many locals call the best grouper sandwich on the island.

"Super clean, accommodated two couples — nice showers, great appliances, and a lanai right on a pond with fountains. Great location by IMG, Publix, and a short drive to the beach."
